15 , Suzuki TS185 , bought for $125.Exhaust held on with wire , no air filter , seat was a bit of foam held on with wire , killswitch broken off so a cut off tack hammered in (went halfway through me thumb one day
).Squeezed a road tyre on the back so it did awesome donuts on grass but had to be careful with the back brakes coz the cam would go over center and the brakes would lock on till you got off the bike and pushed 'em off
Yes it was just a little ghetto

5yrs old learnt on a XR75, that was a sweet bike....wasn't mind and I crashed that thing like 20 times a day...
I reckon for under the $100 mark you might be in the running for a 90's 250cc 2 Stroke MXer, CR,YZ etc, they are robust and cheap as to rebuild cant get rego, for an MXer. if you want a 4 stroke maybe a XR250?? I don't like any 4 stroke dirt bikes that were made before 98 as the we mostly slow un responsive peices of *****... unless you had a Euro bike but then who the hell would want one of them....

Re: what age did you start riding?
Rode the odd dirt bike when I was a kid, but only started riding properly when I was 16 and got my Ls. Started off on a GPZ250 Ninja!!! They onto a 92 RGV, 97 Gizzer 750 and the 98 Blade
Re: what age did you start riding?
Well my dad bought me a bike for my 1st b'day and took me for a spin on it and burnt my leag (still have that scar to this day), but I probably didn't start riding the thing by myself till about 4 or 5... I was young and don't quite remember the age... I was always getting doubled on other peoples bikes from a very young age though... got a few photos lying around at my mums place... I might try and dig them up and post a few.

Re: what age did you start riding?
Had my first ever go at a bike when i was about 10... it was a CT110 postie :YEAH
Funnily enough, just thinking about it, took me all of 5 minutes to get confident, so hoped on a 125 (cant remember brand) and about 3 minutes later fell off hurting my left foot/ankle
Next time I got to ride was when I got my licence at 16.9months age...

Re: what age did you start riding?
Was 4 on my older bro's Z50 that i burned the inside of my leg on cause it didn't have an exshaust cover. Then i moved to the green machine (a mini bike that my old man built powered by a 15hp lawn mower engine) that was set up like a harley chopper. Got a KTM 520 replica for my 5th birthday (only down side it was electric) and then i got the Honda 70 ex scramble bike when i was 8. For my 12 b'day i got my bro's old RM 125. Bought a VFR and now the gixxer with many more to come in the future hopefully.
